only the late March preview update KB5053657 for Win11 23H2 has “fixed” a similar usb printer problem:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-23h2#3495msgdesc

Resolution:

This issue was resolved by Windows updates released March 25, 2025 (KB5053657), and later.

best to wait for the upcoming April 2025 update come April patch Tuesday 4/8, which will include the fix from KB5053657.

this particular Win11 user installed build 26200.5510 and reports it as being 24H2 instead of 25H2

Why not stay with Windows 10 after its “end of life” and install and run a good antivirus software package?

better yet, why not run a Windows 10 LTSC OS on non-compliant Win11 hardware?
only non-LTSC based Windows 10 editions go EOL on October 2025.
Windows 10 LTSB 2016 goes EOL on October 2026
Windows 10 LTSC 2019 goes EOL on January 2029
& Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2021 goes EOL on January 2032

the BIOS/firmware of the Ideacentre 3 desktop needs to be up-to-date as well along with the updated graphics & sound drivers

Epson does not seem to have any Drivers for this model beyond Windows 10.

are you really sure about that?

this Epson support page link suggests otherwise (covers Win11 also). expand all the sections and look at the all the downloads there.

or contact Epson tech support and ask if your Perfection V600 Photo scanner will work correctly with Windows 11 with the provided drivers on the Epson support site

speaking of Microcenter, they’re supposed to bring back or “re-open” a store in Santa Clara, California later in 2025. no exact date as to when that will actually happen

And if MSFT stops the updates, they offer them to be downloaded and installed manually.

highly unlikely, MS will actually do that as it may upset a lot of Win11 users.
the only updates that MS will not be offering to non-supported Win11 users are the big “feature updates”. the cumulative security and non-security preview updates will continue to be offered to Win11 users for both supported and non-supported hardware.

my mom got one of these kinds of text on her iPhone about EZ Pass this past Saturday March 15 when driving back to Los Angeles from San Diego, California. I told her to delete it immediately (and report it as junk).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_in_the_United_States

it really depends on local lawmakers & legislators to pass laws that either abolish the daylight time changes or be in daylight time permanently.
such bills in the USA have been introduced in Congress but have been “stuck in limbo” or have been “deadlocked” and things have not changed, so the time changes will continue on for most US states.

As of November 2023, a number of state bills have been introduced, and a bill in the US Senate has been reintroduced. None have passed in Congress. Until a DST bill is passed in both the US Senate and the US House of Representatives, and then signed into law by the President, nowhere in the US will have permanent daylight time (and standard time is mandatory in all parts of the country, for either the “winter months” or the full year, depending on state law).Most of the United States will continue to change clocks twice a year.

if OP does not like the daylight saving time changes, that person should relocate or move to a province or region that never observes such daylight time changes. In this case for the USA, go live in either the state of Arizona or Hawaii, where these two US states have chosen to always be in standard time and never observe daylight saving time.

edit: I do not mind either way as I am used to the daylight saving time changes.

Until US Congress passes a law that is approved in BOTH the US House and Senate AND officially signed into law by the current US President, things will remain the same for now with the daylight saving time changes for most of the USA.

OP is not the only person who was involuntarily updated to Win11 24H2

wonder if the OP tried to use GRC’s InControl app to prevent the involuntary upgrade to 24H2

Daylight Saving Time was not paused in 1973. It was made permanent for 2 years, beginning in January 1974. It was popular with 79% of Americans but that popularity dropped to 42% in 3 months. This was mainly due to dark mornings, which is what what you get from DST. The program was ended early in October of 1974. DST is a program that has not delivered on promises to save energy, is not needed by the farming industry, and is dangerous to our health. It is time to eliminate it and I will gladly do my part to ensure all systems I manage are compliant.

the only 2 US states that do not observe daylight saving time in the USA are Arizona and Hawaii

anytime and every time a feature upgrade or re-install of Windows 11 occurs, all Windows 7 games get removed and need to be re-installed after the upgrade or re-install

again, check if Microsoft Update Health Tools is installed or not on those PCs

how to remove kb4023057 it will not install on my PC? – Microsoft forum

when the KB4023057 Update Health Tools & KB5001716 updates are installed, it’s “fair game” for Microsoft to update PCs with KB4023057 & KB5001716 updates installed without any user intervention to newer Windows version

need to hide/block both the KB4023057 and KB5001716 updates in order to keep the currently installed Windows version

what editions of Windows do you have installed on those PCs, Simon?

should have also used GRC’s InControl app along with setting that “group policy” to ensure those PCs do not get unexpectedly updated to Win11 24H2

AND NOT let that KB4023057 update health tools thing and the KB5001716 update (like block/hide any version of KB4023057 and KB5001716) get installed at all
